I did a year of high school debate! We should debate sometime Jeffery!

I once made somebody defend NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association).

You know Jeffery, you debate really well. :)

And I only did a year of college debate (and got $600 in scholarships to do it).

oh, shush.
Living an irrational and ignorant life is no good, and it hurts the species.

EDIT: By the way, even the Catholic church recognizes that evolution is a scientific fact.

i dont believe in "evolution".

You don't know enough about biology to rationally oppose the theory of evolution.  Just as I don't know enough about physics to rationally oppose the theory of gravity.

yes, but me likes fire... NOT to be confused with flame wars.

I think you'd die from suffocation before the fire even got to your mouth.

i dont agree...

You've admitted to not knowing anything about biology, so how can you disagree?  The only rational thing you can say is that you don't know enough about the topic to agree or disagree.

No one's really discussed the "meaning" of life. WHY are we here? What PURPOSE do we serve? Are we the only ones?

Why are we here?  We're here as a result of millions of years of evolution.  Evolution occurs because of an inherent need to survive and spread.  Our sole purpose, as a species, is to procreate.  The same can be said about any living thing.

no, and no. i'm a freshman. havent taken biology yet.

Alright then, that's understandable.  When I was a high school freshman, I didn't know much about biology either.  By the time I was a college freshman, I knew quite a lot (which made my biology class very easy).

my brain just melted some...

Have you not learned much about biology yet?  Question #2-- Are you from a state where theology is taught in science classes instead of biology?

These are serious questions, and I'm not intending on making fun of you (though I admit that the second question is a bit slanted).

flame wars suck.

This is not a flame war.  Flame wars consist of nothing but insults.  No insults are currently being thrown.

As for sterile mules, they are still biotic.  The reproduction "rule" is for the species, not for the particular organisms.

Fire is just energy in the form of heat and light.  Having said that, I'm impressed with the metaphorical links between that and life.

Well if viruses arn't living, then what are they?

That's sort of the issue.  They're definitely not abiotic, but they don't meet all of the qualifications of being biotic.

If you close your mouth right, you can do that without any painful burning.  I don't advise doing it until you learn the proper technique, though.

That is true.  There is still much debate amongst biologists whether or not viruses are living.  I'm not sure where I stand on that issue.  Viruses exhibit some characteristics of life, but they cannot reproduce on their own.  It's really interesting (for those of us biology nerds).

here's your proof:

so ha.

What evidence do you have to prove that the Bible is true and the Qur'an is false?

I have nothing against people being religious.  Some of my very good friends are devout Christians.  What I have a problem with is when people assert their religion as an explanation for things that are better explained by science.

we be here 4 the reason of God put us here. dont even think about it, Jeffery.

You have absolutely no evidence to support that.

There is, however, overwhelming evidence to support what Craaig said.
